History (old)

Herzog & de Meuron Basel Ltd. was founded in 1978 in Basel, Switzerland, by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, who were classmates at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich).[1] In their early years, they developed a reputation for minimalist designs and innovative use of materials, exemplified by projects like the Blue House in Oberwil (1980) and the Ricola Storage Building in Laufen (1987).[2]

1990s

In the 1990s, the firm gained international recognition with projects such as the Goetz Collection in Munich (1992), featuring minimalist design and innovative glass cladding to diffuse natural light.[3] The Dominus Winery in Napa Valley, California (1997), showcased their ability to integrate architecture with the landscape using gabion walls filled with local stones.[4] Their transformation of the Bankside Power Station into the Tate Modern in London (2000) solidified their international status, blending historical industrial architecture with contemporary design elements.[5]

2000s

Throughout the 2000s, Herzog & de Meuron continued to deliver significant projects worldwide. The Prada Aoyama Tokyo store (2003) featured a distinctive façade composed of convex and concave glass panes, creating a dynamic visual effect.[6] The Allianz Arena in Munich (2005), designed with ArupSport, became famous for its exterior of inflated ETFE plastic panels that could change color, symbolizing the teams playing inside.[7] The Beijing National Stadium (2008), commonly known as the "Bird's Nest," was created for the 2008 Summer Olympics and is renowned for its steel lattice exterior resembling a bird's nest.[8]

2010s

In the following decade, the firm undertook significant cultural projects, including the VitraHaus in Weil am Rhein, Germany (2010), which served as a showroom and exhibition space with a design of stacked gabled houses.[9] The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg (2017) became an architectural icon, featuring a glass structure resembling waves atop a historic brick warehouse, housing concert halls and public spaces.[10] They also designed the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford (2015), showcasing a circular design with open spaces to promote transparency and collaboration.[11] Additionally, they completed 56 Leonard Street in New York City (2017), a residential skyscraper known for its "Jenga-like" stacked design.[12]

2020s

In the 2020s, Herzog & de Meuron continued to influence the architectural landscape with innovative designs. The M+ Museum in Hong Kong, opened in 2021, is dedicated to visual culture and features a minimalist design with a façade embedded with LED lighting for display purposes.[13] The Royal College of Art's new campus in Battersea, London (2022), provided state-of-the-art facilities for art and design education, featuring flexible studio spaces and workshops.[14] They have also been involved in the ongoing construction of the Vancouver Art Gallery, set to become one of the largest passive energy art galleries, although completion is expected after 2023.[15]

Throughout their career, Herzog & de Meuron have been recognized for their innovative designs and contributions to contemporary architecture, receiving numerous awards, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2001.[16]

Style

DELETE THIS SECTION: There have been a lot of discussions about whether Herzog & de Meuron has a specific style. Even though people have tried to describe an 'H&dM style', the office always declines to have one: In an interview, founding partner Jacques Herzog stated that Herzog & de Meuron "never aspired to anything that might be called a typical style of our own. […] To this day, we do not want to [design a series] of iconic buildings that would instantly communicate "Herzog & de Meuron" – as opposed to the new, specific location that can be created and communicated by a building. In that respect it's not wise to represent a style or a certain taste. We say that over and over again not out of modesty or to castigate ourselves but because we want to maintain our independence and because we are curious about new possibilities."[21]

Their recent work at Prada Tokyo, the Barcelona Forum Building, and the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games suggest a changing attitude.[22] The shapes and forms of some of the works suggest art glass and objects d'art that one would see on a coffee table, like an art deco ashtray or quirky container for chocolates – a building becomes a blown-up version of desk art because the computer can do it, mimic the plasticity of the medium, and make it possible as a feat of engineering.

Ethics

Herzog & de Meuron have faced criticism for their vision for migrant workers in Beijing during the construction of the Beijing National Stadium. In a July 2008 interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, Jacques Herzog was criticised for not having done more to ensure the conditions under which migrant workers constructed the stadium by the interviewer, to which Jacques Herzog responded that the influence of the architect on the construction process is declining rapidly.[23]

On the other hand, some scholars, such as Deyan Sudjic, have stated that the very building of the stadium sent a signal from the Western architecture firm to the Chinese government to change societal norms.[24] However, others have argued that this statement would go with any stadium design, decreasing the potential of the signal.[25]

Herzog: We can always exchange a few friendly words with the mayor, but the realities have changed in construction management. We are dealing with a world that, paradoxically enough, is often at odds with the architecture. On the one hand, the architect is highly respected, and architecture also has the capacity to bring about radical social change. On the other hand, the architect's influence on the course of construction is declining rapidly.
